Categories     dinner, main course

Time 4h

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound prunes, pitted
1 cup port or madeira
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 stalks celery, chopped
4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon thyme
Dash sage
1 pound cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup white bread crumbs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 8- to 10-pound goose
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Soak the prunes for an hour in the port.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet and soften the onion, garlic and celery in the butter. Add the parsley, thyme, sage and apples. Mix thoroughly and add the prunes and port. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove excess fat from the goose cavity (use this for roasting potatoes) and dry the goose inside and out with paper towels. Rub inside and out with lemon juice and season.
  • Stuff the goose with the stuffing mixture and truss. Place on a roasting rack and roast for three to three-and-a-half hours, basting occasionally. The goose is done when the juices in the thigh are pale yellow. Let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly, and my goose turned out dry and tasteless.

I'm not sure why this recipe is so highly rated. It was a lot of work, and the results were not worth it.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a lot of work, and it's easy to mess up.

I don't think I'll be making this recipe again. It was a lot of work for a mediocre result.

This recipe was a waste of time and money. The goose was tough and gamey, and the stuffing was flavorless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my goose turned out dry and tough. The stuffing was also bland.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up overcooking the goose, and the stuffing was a bit dry.

I'm not a big fan of goose, but I have to admit that this recipe was pretty good. The meat was tender and juicy, and the apple and prune stuffing was a nice touch.

This recipe is a keeper! The goose was perfectly cooked, and the apple and prune stuffing was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

I've tried several roast goose recipes, and this one is by far the best. The meat is always tender and juicy, and the skin is crispy and flavorful.

I've made this roast goose recipe several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. The meat is always moist and flavorful, and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
